World AIDS Day 2019 message from UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima
UNAIDS - "1 December 2019: I believe in communities. Communities make change happen. Communities are the best hope for ending AIDS because communities have fought against HIV right from the beginning! As the epidemic raged through our countries, cities, villages, women held communities together and bore the higher burden of care for their families.
For far too long we have taken their volunteerism for granted. In the face of adversity, communities of gay men, sex workers and people who use drugs have organized themselves to claim their right to health as equal citizens. So, we know that communities have proved their worth. There is no debate there." (Photo: International Monetary Fund/flickr, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
